Great, if he's lucky Bush could use the hard-earned Clinton surplus to give to his fat cat friends and screw the ordinary people How is a tax cut "screwing the ordinary people"? Even if you assumed a situation where all of the tax cut went to the rich. If the top tax rate was eliminated causeing "the rich" to pay the same as many "ordinary people", that would mean that "ordinary people" (if you define them as those that do not currently pay the top rate), get none of the benefits, but unless the government increased their rates, it would not be "screwing" them, it would not be doing anything new to them at all. As for "the Clinton surplus" - calling it that is a sick joke. If Republicans had not taken over congress we would still be faceing deficits. If Clinton's health care plan had gone in to effect those deficits might be crippleing. Tim
